Many Strong Teams.
The tournament this year looms up
as an exciting affair. Many quintets
hare been showing championship
caliber the last few weeks and it will
take a lot of battling to beat them.
Lincoln, Hastings, Wahoo, Sutton and
Central look particularly strcog in
the class A division. Omaha Com
merce, last year champions, have
been coming up from a poor early
season showing and should make a
fair bid to retain the title.
In the second division, Ravenna,
York, Nebraska City and Schuyler are
bringing teams which have been going
at a fast clip throughout the season.
Ravenna has taken the scalp of Al
liance and given Grand Island a close
run while losing to Hastings. The
other teams have taken victories and
defeats which make them rate as
strong contenders. Ravenna carried
off the class C honors in the 19-1
tournament.
Central City, Superior and Craig
are bright spots on the closs C sched
ule. Wayne, Pawnee City and Ran
dolph look good in class D. Benson
and Lexington have good records in
the E class. Harvard, Cambridge and
Lyons of class F teams have shown
up well. In class H, Greenwood
Neligh and Milford look good. In
all the other classes are listed, teams
which have been meeting defeats and
taking victories throughout the sea
son and littf speculation can be made
on their prospects.
, Dark Horses Probable.
In every class there are listed a
good many teams which have shown
championship caliber at timed while
at other times they have been raving
hard luck. These teams may came
forth as the dark horses of the tour
nament and carry off the champion
ship laurels.
Especially in the class A and B
teams are there probable dark horses.
Clay Center and Crete are given fav
orable rating and in all probability
will take on winning form when they
trip out on tie battle ground

MISS BERTHA EHLERS
TALKS TO HOME EC'S
Miss Bertha Ehlers, a dietician in
the Methodist hospital in Omaha, ad
dressed the classes in foods and nu
trition in the home economics aepait
ment on Tuesday.
Miss Ehlers took all of her home
economics work at Nebraska. At the
time she was in school no training
for institutional work was offered;
she was highly pleased that the uni
versity is now offering such courses
and that students may obtain prac
tical experience before leaving the
university.

Tuesday evening is the dead line

the kind of act preferred, must De
turned in to the student activities
office before that time. Tryouls will
be held later in the week.
The variety show is to be a pro
gram of musical, comedy, dramatic
and feature acts much in the nature
of an Orpheum circuit program. Un
usual acts of a feature nature are par.
ticularly desired by the board .
Suggestions for acts, together with
applications for position in acts, will
be welcomed by the committee. It is
hoped that the variety show can be
put on annually as one of the big
home talent productions of Lincoln.
The variety show is an effort on the
part of the lyceum board to bring to
Lincoln some of the university t.l
ent which is each spring vacation
sent out into the state to help adver
tise the university. Lincoln people
rarely have a chance to see the best
of university talent in action and it
is for this reason that the variety pro
gram is to be inaugurated.

COLLEGE TOURNAMENT
Second Year Team Carries Off
Honors in Basketball Tour
ney in Coliseum.
The flashy sophomore quintet of
the Ag. college completely outclassed
their rivals in the class tourney held
last week, winning from the other
teams by their stellar teamwork and
accurate goal-shoot,ing. Under the
leadership of Manager Walker I la-be
little speed demons turned out their
regular team each evening and whip
ped the freshies 26 to 14, the beuiors
36 to 18, and the juniors 19 to 12.
This places the sophs in champion
ship place with the other classes tied
for second, each team winning one
and losing two games.
Beginning last Wednesday at 4 p.
m. two games were played each eve
ning in the horse barn gym. The
sophs beat the frosh 26 to 14. and
the juniors beat the seniors 24 to 6
in the Wednesday round. In the
Thursday games 'the freshman hu
miliated the juniors by a 22 to 12
score and the sophs won from the
seniors 36 to 18. On Friday the sen
iors upset the dope by trouncing the
frosh five 18 to 4. While the sophs
cinched the championship by beatiug
the juniors, 19 to 12.
Will Play Off Tie.
The tie between the three teams
will have to be played off this week
because, arguments Jiave already
arisen as to Just which class supports
the poorest team.
The real value of the tournament
is the boost to Ag. college athletics
and enthusnasm manifested by the
large peppy crowds of rooters at all
the games. The manager Barnes,
freshman. Walker, soph, Weir, Junior
and Nielson the senior mainstay, de
serve much credit for their work

New Lines Are Bound To Improve
The Same Old Stuff In Introductions
For some reason or other, lit seems
more difficult to make new iriends,
around the campus, this semester
than any time previous. No one
knows just what the reason is, uul
the condition prevails, never-tto-ie&s,
if you will apply the psychological
art of introspection you will agree
that the truth of this statement is
well based.
Now it seems that the logical rea
son is that the "line" used, following
an introduction, is faulty. It Is hard
to determine whether it is the "line"
belonging to the college mau or to
the co-ed, but there is a probability
of it being the fault of both.
The "Rag" is a paper which serves
the school. Its aim is to encourage
democracy and friendship amongst
the entire student body. Since it
has been noticed that persons do not
become friends after an introduction
and that the formal "am glad to have
met you" ends the abrupt acquaint
ance, the "Rag" takes the situation
in hand and hereby gives a recipe
for both sexes to follow. It is Hoped
that all will take advantage of the
valuable information listed below.
"Lines" for the man:
When being introduced to the
charming young "flapper, an effective
motion is to remove the hat, or cap,
and brush back the hair from the
forehead. Then say, "All the fellows
have told me about yau, I have heard
your talents heralded far and wide.
This is indeed a deep pleasure.' This
is always sure to take very well and
proves very effective. To suggest a
little walk over the campus 13 bound
to give satisfaction. This proves that
you delight being in her company,
without using words to express same.
Actions, you know, always speak
louder than words. As you are walk
ing, it is very impressive to remark
about the young woman's appsar
ance reminding you of Katherine Mc
Donald, especially if the young wo
man is a brunette. If she happens
to be large it always registers well
to tell her there is something about
her that reminds, you of Viola Dana;
if she is very short and stout, an
Olga Fetrova- resemblance is guar
anteed to give satisfaction, or money
refunded and no question asked.
If you have a little spare change
in your pocket, a convincing action
is to suggest a malted-milk bar. When
the little lady Is biting into the
"Hunk" of sweets, that put you back
GLEE CLUB TRYOUTS
TO BE
Men Asked to Tryout for Places
in Newly Organized Singing
Club
Every male student in the Univers
ity of Nebraska who can sing is asked
t otryout for a plae in the men's
glee club which is being started. Try
outs will bo held Wednesday evening
at 8 o'rlock in the faculty roos of the
Temple Building.
In the earnest effort to get tho best
singers possible for the club, letters
have been sent t0 everl fraternity
asking that all men be urged to try
for places in the club. As a side
Issue which is expected to bring re
sults letters have been sent to tho sor
orities also asking that the girls urge
their friends to try out for tho glee
club.
The University of Nebraska has
long been slack In its singing. Feel
ing that more singing produces more
spirit, a group of men together with
Harold F. Holtz secretary of the alum
ni association, have worked up plans
for a glee club.
Parvin Witte, widely known leader
or glee clubs, is to head the newly
organized musical group. Witte has
a record as a leader of glee clubs that
Is hard to beat and Nebraska men
should back him in his effort to" give
Nebraska a glee club equal to the re
putation of tne school In other respects.
a dime, breathe tensely and say,
"Heavens, what beautiful pea"ly,
teeth" (this portion to be used wheth
er it fits or not.) If the boli rings
and you have to dash off to class
you might say, "I hate to go to an
old dry class alter these few moments
of bliss, it is such a contrast." Look
her straight in the eye, whether pos
sible or not, all the while you spsak.
A sigh, now and then, can "bo used
again and again and will always como
off with the same results. When
it is time to part, a soft and soulful,
"Little girl, this meeting has made me
the happiest man in the world" is
the most taking and completely et
fective ending that can be suggested.
A slight rolling of the "R's" helps to
assure its success.
(Guaranteed to produce a lasting-
acquaintance)
"Lines" for the girl:
These are not so complicated as
those of the man. Following introduc
tion the co-ed should say "Gee, but I
am glad to know you. You're the
man that all the girls rave about.
Oh, I've heard what a big man you
are around this; school." These words
are bound to affect the gentleman's
vanity, "nuff sed." Giggling is the
most forecful measure ror the flapper
to take. Giggle at everything, wheth
er it is funny or not This proves,
to the man, that you are enjoying
his company, without going to any
extra effort. When the walk is sug
gested say, "Oh, how did you guess
that a walk was just what I was dy
ing to take? A speech nke this puts
the fellow in fine spirits and is al
ways satisfactory. Tell him that the
candy was the best you ever had
eaten and when he speaks of your
teeth say that you were just notic
ing how wonderful his were, and it
is advisable to add here, that you
never say such lovely long lashes ou a
man before. Ask hinv if he saw Ru
dolf Valantino in "The Conquering
Power," and if he didn't tell him that
his actions remind you so much of
Rudolf's when he was becoming in
fatuated with Alice. If giggling is
used the rest of the time, that Is all
that will be necessary. Only at the
end say, "It would kill me to think
that I would never see you again
This is bound to bring a "but you
will," from the lips of the excited
youth.
If these bits of advice are followed
closely they will, no doubt, bring the
desired results.

ing Life in the islands is noi
One of Ignorance and Ease
One hundred colored slides on every
phase of Philippino life, manners

guests 0f the Phi'.ippino Club last
Thursday evening that the distant
islands are not given up to a race of
ignorant and lazy hunun beings. The
photographs showed roads, bridges,
schools from kindergarten up,
churches, commercial centers, monu
ments, prisons and many other sub
jects the like of which are hardly
seen in America or any Pce else.
Mr. Guerrero, president of the club,
explained the views which had been
sent from Washington especially for
this occasion, and was able t odo the
job well even upon the short notice
which he had because of tho fact
that he had visited or lived at many
of the places shown.
Some time was spent on demonstrat
ing the difference between Spanish
and American methods in the islands
One of the greatest American achieve
ments, according to the lecturer, was
the system of prison management
which it had established. The trusi
ystem is used to a very high degree
and has been found effective. A ma
chine gun is used on the common pris
oners, however, and that is also very
effective.
